One Door, One Shepherd

In John 10 we hear powerful and encouraging words from the Lord Jesus Himself: “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:7-10 NKJV). Continue reading →

Several years ago I set myself the task of writing an essay without using the letter “e.”  It was more daunting than I thought it would be.  It became a real challenge.  I had to read and reread my drafts over and over.  Those pesky little critters (“e’s,” that is) kept creeping in everywhere.  I  would be sure that I had expunged them all.  “Out, you varmints!”  And then, lo and behold, another one!  It took a while to finish that piece.

For some years now a very hot religious and religio-political topic for debate, both in the Christian and secular media, has the subject of Intelligent Design (I.D. for short).  I have heard it debated on radio and TV.  I have read articles about it in secular newspapers.  If you go to Christian websites, such as that for the Christian Research Institute (Hank Hanegraff) or John Ankerberg’s site, I.D. has been prominently featured.  It is a concept that secular, naturalistic scientists disavow—and creationists find helpful.  Continue reading →

“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Phil. 3:20 NIV)

There’s an old saying:  There’s no place like home.  That phrase has been sung about, poems have been written about it, many a sampler hangs on the walls of people’s houses with that saying on it… in fact, it has been used so much it has become a cliché.  But for all that, it still rings so true… There’s no place like home!

The Only Hope for Unity and Peace

We live in a divided society.  We are reminded of that every night on the news.  Our newspapers and magazines are full of photos of protests, riots, shootings, and violence.  Race divides us.  Politics divides.  Economics divides us.  We are a fractured people.  We mourn the division, and we all probably wonder if there is any hope for unity.  Can we ever truly and peacefully come together?
